The other day I showed off my Mega Drive collection, but there’s a bunch of games that don’t fit on that shelf… so for completeness, here they are! Anything catch your eye…? 😁 #RetroGaming #MegaDrive

A stack of Mega Drive games: Micro Machines 2, James Pond II, Crue Ball, Strider, Altered Beast, World of Illusion, Ballz, Sonic Compilation and Winter Olympics. Next to the stack is a model 1 Mega Drive with the Master System Converter inserted into its cartridge slot.

World of Illusion is supposed to be really good. That and James Pond.

World of Illusion is very good indeed. Possibly the best all-ages co-op game on the system, a great one to share with kids or siblings! 😁

Always up for a bit of James Pond 2. And what must have been a weird set of steps for EA to end up publishing it. But also gotta spot one of the first of many Sonic bundles

EA snapped up a bunch of Amiga and PC ports that you wouldn’t expect on consoles, like Might & Magic, The Immortal, and Buck Rodgers. Compared to those, a nice traditional platformer like James Pond must’ve been easy!

Winter Olympics catch my eye, not cause it's a good game but rather the opposite 😅

Ah, that one’s special - it’s the Winter Olympics tie-in game from 1994 in Lillehammer, and I bought this copy (in a neat rental box!) in Norway on a trip there a couple of years ago! So it was my souvenir… 😁

That's awesome, I had to have it when I saw the year since I'm from Lillehammer and remember the Olympics in 94' :3

Ahh that’s so cool!! I was very young at the time, so I don’t remember it much, except from videos of it.

There’s a copy of crueball in my local cex, should I? (Least effective self doxxing ever)

Yup, way too many stores have a copy of that to narrow down your location, not that I just looked up their stock for that exact reason or anything- anyway, yes, Crüe Ball! (With the umlaut!) If you like either pinball games or Motley Crüe, go for it!

i'd go for CRÜE BALL first, because i've never played it and i'm curious to see if my love for pinball would carry me through my disinterest in hearing fm synth loops of motley crüe songs for extended periods of time

There’s always room for James Pond 2 on my shelf.
